For the sake of fairness, the program team edited the video materials provided by everyone. They wanted to ensure that the duration of each student's self-presentation was similar.
A lot of Xue Xiao's scenes were also edited out. The previous shots of the supporting characters all flashed by. Only this last shot was kept intact by the program team.
They know what the breaking point is.
The students present, both male and female, were all covering their mouths at this moment, their faces flushed, and their eyes widened.
They have seen many beautiful men in ancient costumes, but no matter how "handsome" they are, once their hair is disheveled, most of them are still ugly, and some are even so ugly that people and gods are outraged.
But I don’t know if it’s because the quality of Xue Xiao’s wig is too good, or because his face is so soft that it’s hard to distinguish between male and female in this scene. He looks really beautiful.
Many people even turned around and compared Xue Xiao, who was sitting obediently with his knees together in the corner. Looking at the big screen, they couldn't believe that this was the same person!
In real life, Xue Xiao looks like a good boy, but the person on the screen reveals a hint of desire. His eyes clearly have no hint of seduction, and are even a little cold, but they are extremely seductive, turning some people into Gay men are embarrassed to see it!
A girl suddenly exclaimed: "Ah, I remembered, this paragraph has been trending, right?"
Xue Xiao thought for a while and said objectively: "Director Jin's aesthetic is still very good, and he also has his own pursuit of filming."
Then Director Jin asked his assistant to get... his special collection-level costume men's wig, and asked the makeup artist on site to change Xue Xiao's makeup before letting Xue Xiao play.
He pointed to the microphone on his collar, signaling the brother not only to pay attention to the camera, but also to note that every word they said now would be picked up.
This brother was so suppressed that his face turned purple, and he quietly made a lip-sync to Xue Xiao.
As a bit player, he really doesn't have many scenes. After this semi-nude scene, he puts on his fantasy clothes and goes ashore, leading many younger brothers and sisters into the woods, where he is ambushed and killed.
In other fast-paced costume productions, the director may not have put much thought into this short scene. The assistant director would come over and give a few pointers and that would be enough. As long as there are no major problems, one or two words would be enough.
What is love without lust
Just don't smile greasy, don't wink, don't twist your neck, don't open your mouth and gasp as if you're acting in a third-level movie, and don't have the most beautiful aura in the world, it will be too irritating to your eyes.
But Director Jin at the time went to Xue Xiao specifically to analyze it for him.
Sure enough, after all the thirty people in front arrived, the thirty-one person who arrived at the studio was the signed artist.
"Why don't I look for those particularly handsome actors to come to you? Because the leader of the river demon is just like other river demons. He confuses not only women, but also men. I asked a strong man to seduce a man. Helping a straight man and saying he succeeded in seducing him will definitely not be acceptable to the audience.”
Xue Xiao said calmly: "Just this one shot can't explain anything."
Hearing this, more people were surprised and envious.
"That's also the director's credit." "Oh, by the way, which drama is this from?"
River monsters in the play are monsters that charm all living beings. They are so beautiful that they can make people lose their minds and kill each other. This is the reason why people want to kill them. People feel that as long as river monsters exist, the world will never be the same. There will be peace.
—But isn’t this a famous thunder drama
Xue Xiao suddenly burst into laughter.
Especially for this semi-nude scene, he had seen similar reactions many times during filming and broadcasting, and he had long been used to it.
The brother felt sad, covered the phone and said: "Not to mention it looks like straw, there may be lice inside, and you will wear it several times a day."
A photography brother happened to move over with a camera, and the dark lens was pointed at the two of them. The brother immediately stopped talking.
Therefore, the actors here must be beautiful and convincing, and they must be emotional but not lustful.
The brother next to Xue Xiao was furious: "So it's really a very high quality and unique wig?"
Xue Xiao and this brother looked at each other and sighed together.
Although this kind of aesthetics and pursuit often strays into outer space, so that normal people on earth don't understand it. However, it is not true to say that the director is making a bad drama with a perfunctory attitude.
The artist was particularly reserved when he entered the place.
The program crew seemed to have deliberately arranged for artists who had signed contracts with entertainment companies to appear later.
"But this shot is amazing! It's really amazing!"
"What about you, your face doesn't look that eye-catching, but your appearance is actually very classically beautiful, and your figure is just right. You have a kind of attraction that makes men and women say 'I can do it'. Do you feel it yourself? So don’t be exaggerated, don’t make superfluous expressions and movements, just make good use of your face and figure, and just keep your acting in check, do you understand?”
Not to mention the costumes of the extras, which have been worn for 800 times without being washed. They are still covered with mud and dirt, but they may even go rancid in the summer.
Xue Xiao reported his name.
For example, in the scene where Xue Xiao leaves the circle, he is indeed playing a monster, the head of the river monster.
Xue laughed out loud.
Although he has never seen it, he has heard of it.
He looked to be in his early twenties, and I didn't even know if he had graduated from college. He politely and humbly greeted "Hello, brothers and sisters" and sat down low-key in the corner of the front row.
Remember, you have to show your body generously and show a sense of alienation that is different from ordinary people with a lazy posture.
The brother blurted out: "Ah, I know, but this is not a movie—"
There has never been a time when the many supporting actors here were on the hot search!
"Brother, are you still a bitch now?" The brother next to Xue Xiao's ears were so red that he stuttered, "You, you are like this and you haven't signed with a big company yet?!"
"Hey, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Chang Yun, and I have been acting as a bit player for three years," Chang Yun said. "Including you, there are currently twenty-six of us here. It seems that they are all amateurs playing bit parts."
Miraculously, he was a little embarrassed when the show crew first came up with this flirting operation, but now he is calm.
Xue Xiao nodded honestly and whispered: "As you know, most of the supporting wigs in the crew are very..."
Then they both laughed at the same time.
With that kind of straw-style wig, no matter how beautiful the actor is, he looks like a beggar when he wears it. How can he play a stunningly beautiful river demon
As soon as the resume comes out, most people don't know them at all - there are so many people in the entertainment industry, and there are always only a few people whose names can be remembered.
But everyone still cheered in a friendly manner, and the young artist breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and chatted with the people around him.
Chang Yun sighed and whispered: "It's too difficult to get ahead in this industry. If I could take a shot like yours, I would treat it like a family heirloom, but even so I can't sign a contract with a big company. ah."
There are also a large number of people who have signed with the company whose names are unknown.
Xue Xiao was carefully watching other people's video collections. Hearing this, he encouraged him: "But with a good lens, there will indeed be more drama appointments."
"No matter how many dramas you have, you are still a bit player. Do you want to be a bit player for the rest of your life?"
Xue Xiao shook his head, changed his sitting position, folded his hands and forearms and put them on his knees, and said seriously to Chang Yun: "The road is always walked step by step. We have only been together for a few years, how can we discuss 'a lifetime' to the point?”
He counted on his fingers: "XXX was born as a bit player, maybe. It took him ten years to play a small supporting role, and another five years to play the leading role; XX was born in a major, and he started acting as soon as he debuted. She was cast in a supporting role in a hit drama, but it wasn’t until more than ten years later that she played the leading role..."
"After all, there are only a few who become famous overnight. Putting aside these few cases, we are actually very lucky to get the opportunity to be on this variety show at this age," Xue Xiao said very quietly, he pursed his lips He smiled and said, "Brother Chang, don't be too discouraged. Come on."
Chang Yun covered his heart: "Xiao Xue, you are so good at speaking! I was convinced, and now I still feel that I am quite amazing!"
Xue smiled happily: "It's quite amazing. I also feel that I am quite amazing."
Among the artists who came later, some didn't like to talk to them as amateurs. They seemed to greet the whole audience with a smile, but then found a corner by themselves, as if they didn't want to chat with anyone and I have a wall with you.
There are also some artists who really consider themselves to be 18th-tier goofballs, and they quickly get into a fight with everyone.
A girl swept the whole place when she came in, and miraculously fixed her eyes on Xue Xiao.
When her resume was shown on the big screen, the 23-year-old girl named Jiang Lianlian, who had signed a contract with a large company, was so excited that her cheeks turned red. She sat down next to Xue Xiao and said, "Xue Xiao! You are Xue Xiao's right partner." wrong?!"
Xue Xiao was a little surprised and extended his hand in a friendly manner: "I'm Xue Xiao, hello."
"Hello, hello," Jiang Lianlian firmly held Xue Xiao's hand and shook it. Her expression was the same as when a fan meets an idol. She covered her mouth and said, "I didn't expect you to come to this show too. You play the role of the river demon." I love that drama so much that I even cut it out and used it as the wallpaper on my computer and mobile phone. I haven’t changed it yet. Take a look!”
She took out her mobile phone to show it off: "I've always wanted to see you act in more dramas. I like you so much."
Xue Xiao's ears turned red.
This was the first time that someone told him "I like you so much" in person.
Perhaps it was such a surprise that Jiang Lianlian didn't feel nervous at all and talked a lot. Chang Yun was also a talkative, and the two of them chatted until their mouths went dry.
Xue Xiao sat among them, listening to the left and right sentences, and was very happy.
After about two hours passed, the studio finally became crowded.
Suddenly someone said: "Forty-nine, there is still one last person left."
"Hey, come in, come in."
Xue Xiao turned his head subconsciously, looked towards the back door, and paused.
A familiar figure appeared there.
Jiang Lianlian stopped her mouth instantly.
The whole place fell silent.
Fan Xue is 1.8 meters tall, wearing a loose and casual white shirt and ripped jeans. He has an earring on his left ear and fresh makeup. He looks particularly handsome.
Red gas is a very mysterious thing.
Many people believe that popularity can nourish people, so once a person becomes popular, no matter how ordinary he is, his temperament and aura will be very different from the past, and there will be a huge gap between him and ordinary people.
When a celebrity stands next to a bunch of Internet celebrities, many people can easily tell the difference between the two.
Fan Xue already has a bit of this flavor.
Obviously many people in the audience came with makeup today. Even a rough guy like Chang Yun had his hair tied back and changed into handsome clothes. Not to mention the small artists who had signed contracts, there were many necklaces, rings and other accessories. .
But Fan Xue looked different from everyone else in the room.
This is the difference in aura.
The instantly quiet atmosphere did not affect Fan Xue at all. He bowed calmly and said with a humble smile: "Hello everyone, I am Fan Xue."
Then he walked past Xue Xiao without looking away, walked to the front and sat down.
Chang Yun lowered his voice and said: "As expected of a popular star, it just feels different. Hey, the perfume he wears smells pretty good. I don't know what brand it is..."
Halfway through, he felt something was not right in the atmosphere, and glanced at Xue Xiao and Jiang Lianlian: "Why don't you two talk?"
Jiang Lianlian glanced at Xue Xiao.
It's a coincidence that she has a friend who is an extreme fan of Fan Xue. He has been lurking in Fan Xue's super chat for a long time to get first-hand information. Through this friend's mouth, Jiang Lianlian immediately learned about the conflict between Fan Xue and Xue Xiao on the set. Just know. The incident itself was not a big fuss. Only fans of Fan Xue jumped on the topic, saying that the little bit player dared to steal the male lead's role and bully the male lead. They also said that the little bit player named Xue Xiao was extremely evil. Maybe he crawled into the director's bed, and if he goes back to the movie, Fan Xue, the leading actor, will be replaced, and so on.
Just outrageous.
Some fans nowadays not only like to make pornographic rumors about female celebrities, but also like to make pornographic rumors about male celebrities, as if they can't live without pornographic rumors.
As an industry insider, Jiang Lianlian would not believe such rumors spread without a stone hammer.
It may be true that the two people are in conflict. It's hard to say who bullied whom, but there is a high probability that Xue Xiao, a talented person who always plays a small role, is more likely to be the one who will be unlucky later.
So when she saw Xue Xiao in this studio, she was really surprised.
But it was only at this time that she came to her senses... The program team chose Xue Xiao. Did they really take a fancy to his potential, or did they take a fancy to the contradictory hype potential between him and Fan Xue
Hard to say.
Xue Xiao is not famous. Even if he has climbed to the top of the hot search, he will be forgotten by the public in two or three days. But once he enters the same program, it doesn’t matter who he is with, as long as he fights, he will get flow.
But if the show crew really wants to hype it up, then the only one who gets the script of Sacrifice to Heaven may be Xue Xiao.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lianlian looked at Xue Xiao with worried eyes.
Xue Xiao's mentality was much better than Jiang Lianlian imagined.
When he first received the email from the program team, Zhang Chengyu was worried about Fan Xue's problem.
"Does Fan Xue know that the program team selected you as a trainee?"
At that time, a supporting role sister said: "I think he must not know that he wants to ban Xiaoxiao and how can he let Xiaoxiao be on such a big show?"
Another eldest brother said: "He doesn't know now, but he might know it later. If he finds out, will he kick Xiaoxiao off the list?"
"It's very possible..."
However, until the show was about to start recording, Xue Xiao never received any change notice from the program team.
"Then there is only one possibility," Zhang Chengyu analyzed. "Although the person behind Fan Xue can persuade the leaders of the Screen Actors Guild to ban Xiaoxiao, his connections are not big enough to interfere with this program group. ”
"Anyway, it's a fact that he can't stop you from appearing on this show," Zhang Chengyu patted Xue Xiao on the shoulder, "Of course, after the show is broadcast, the affairs between the two of you may be dug out, and how will the public opinion change? , It’s hard to say at the moment, but everything in this world is filled with risks and opportunities.”
Xue Xiao's tone was very calm: "Don't worry, Master, I know."
Sitting in the last row, Xue Xiao only glanced at the back of Fan Xue's head, then turned his attention to the stage at the front.
After all the students arrived, the host finally appeared.
The whole place was shaken by the sound, and everyone became excited.
Jiang Quan, Guantian's ace host, is forty-four years old. He has a tall and straight figure and a strong aura. He came on with a microphone, waved to everyone, and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, welcome to Guantian Homemade The stage of the variety show "Superstar".
Instead of rigidly reciting the program's promotional copy, Jiang Quan's hosting style was quite natural and friendly, which relieved many people's nervousness.
"We see that fifty students have gathered, everyone is holding their suitcases, and they are all ready for the next closed training, right?"
"Yes!" everyone responded loudly.
Jiang Quan smiled: "There are some familiar faces here—"
In the front row, photographers carried machines and scanned some of the signed artists.
These people have signed contracts with companies and have resources, so they have all played supporting roles.
"There are some students carrying folding chairs on their backs. Where are you from?"
Someone shouted: "We are all extras and extras!"
Perhaps due to excitement, the last "er" sound was particularly exaggerated, making the whole audience laugh.
"Some students seemed a little nervous and embarrassed."
Jiang Quan's eyes turned to a certain student on the stepped seat.
The student said nervously: "I, I have never acted seriously. I only acted in plays when I was in elementary school, but I am very interested in acting!"
"They are students with zero foundation," Jiang Quan nodded, "So here, we have amateurs, extras, and supporting actors, as well as some new actors who have signed with the company to debut, but have encountered difficulties."
"Everyone is different, and everyone is gathered together because of their love for acting."
"And from now on, no matter what your identity was before, your identity at the moment is all 'zero'."
The big screen behind Jiang's body suddenly turned into a piece of white paper. In the center of the white paper was a huge, black, solemn "0".
Everyone quietly held their breath, their hearts beating in their chests.
Jiang Quan raised an index finger and said forcefully: ""Superstar" provides a stage for everyone who wants to act. Starting from scratch, as long as you work hard, you may become 1, become 10, and become 100." , to infinity!”
"Do you have confidence in yourselves?"
"have!"
"What is your goal?"
"Endless!"
Jiang Quan took two steps back and said with a smile: "Have the four instructors heard the students' shouts?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
When the big screen suddenly changed and four figures that everyone recognized appeared, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Xue Xiao, who was sitting in the last row, suddenly stretched his neck, opened his eyes wide, and his eyes glowed with light.
The hands on his knees couldn't help but curl up.
That's obviously another studio.
A theater-style studio much larger than theirs.
The camera is facing the four instructors in front of the audience.
On the far left is the actress Guan Ruoying, who has wavy long black hair and beautiful appearance. Today she is wearing a well-designed, close-fitting black dress, with a graceful and graceful figure.
Probably because she also saw the students on their screen, she smiled and said hello: "Hello everyone, I am Guan Ruoying."
The students started to crow. Guan Ruoying was famous for killing both men and women. All the gays and lesbians present were excited and bursting with blood!
The woman on the far right is about twenty-seven years old. She has handsome and neat short hair, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, and is wearing a slim and tall women's suit.
"Hello everyone, my name is Su Shijin."
Su Shijin is a famous screenwriter in the suspense genre. In an environment where domestic screenwriters generally have no say in the crew, she is still able to carve out a bloody path and lead the entire crew.
In the studio here, Chang Yun was so excited that he shook Xue Xiao hard: "Su Shijin, if you can be attracted by her and become her queen actor, you will be really invincible!!"
Xue Xiao was shaken so much that his features were flying: "Brother Chang, don't shake it, don't shake it!"
And the two people sitting in the middle are even more heavyweights.
One of them, about thirty years old, elegant and steady, nodded to the camera and said: "Hello everyone, I am Feng Wei."
"Ahhh!"
"Director Feng!"
"Director Feng, I want to act in your play!!!"
Feng Wei, a talented director, won an award for his first film when he was in his twenties. Now that he is just thirty, he has firmly established himself as a famous director in China.
Among the people here, not to mention the amateur actors and actresses, even among those artists who have signed contracts, how many of them don’t dream of acting in Feng Wei’s drama
But even Fan Xue, who is the most popular among the students, may not be qualified to interview for Fengwei’s movie role!
Fan Xue swallowed and tried to stay calm, but his quietly clenched fists revealed his nervousness and excitement.
the last one-
"Ahhhhh!"
"Teacher Shen, ah!"
"My boyfriend, please help me! I'm going to faint!!"
"Teacher Shen, I love you!"
Amidst the crazy cries of chickens in the audience - or in other words, under the close-range magic sound attacks from Jiang Lianlian and Chang Yun on the left and right, Xue Xiao covered his ears in pain.
He heard his heart beating rapidly.
He held his breath and stared motionlessly at the man on the screen.
When he submitted his resume to the program team, Xue Xiao never thought that... he would be among the mentors invited by the program team!
Impeccably handsome eyebrows, whether it is the long and narrow eyes with naturally light-colored pupils that are a bit cold, the straight bridge of the nose, the thin lips, or the elegant and sexy jawline, they are all like The meticulously drawn general is so perfect that it cannot be described in words.
He has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and a tall figure. His long legs wrapped in suit trousers have nowhere to rest behind the instructor's desk. Every aspect of this man's body is perfect.
There was once a marketing account that made trouble and held a selection of outstanding male stars in domestic entertainment. The result was undoubtedly that Shen Tingyan was ranked first, and there was a huge gap between the world and the second place.
It is a blessing for domestic entertainment to have such a male artist in this century, a passerby once said.
Exaggerated, but recognized by countless people.
Xue Xiao likes and admires Shen Tingyan, not because of his appearance, but because of his ability and acting skills.
This man is a three-time Best Actor, and his performance ability is unique in domestic entertainment.
On the screen, a long, well-jointed hand closed the student roster.
Shen Tingyan lazily leaned back on the chair, raised his eyes slightly, opened his lips slightly, and said in a cold and low voice: "Hello everyone, I am Shen Tingyan."
Xue Xiao's palms were sweating.
Shen Tingyan is his goal in acting.
